14. Attach the vehicle to the tow vehicle using a suitable tow bar.
15. Release the parking brake.
NOTE:
• Steps 1 through 4 are requirements that must be met before pressing the NEUTRAL (N) button, and must continue to be met until the shift has been
completed. If any of these requirements are not met before pushing the NEUTRAL
(N) button or are no longer met during the shift, then the NEUTRAL (N) indicator
light will flash continuously until all requirements are met or until the NEUTRAL
(N) button is released.
• The ignition switch must be in the ON/RUN position for a shift to take place and for the position indicator lights to be operable. If the ignition switch is not in the
ON/RUN position, the shift will not take place and no position indicator lights will
be on or flashing.
• A flashing NEUTRAL (N) position indicator light indicates that shift requirements have not been met.
• If the vehicle is equipped with Quadra-Lift air suspension, the engine should be started and left running for a minimum of 60 seconds (with all the doors closed)
at least once every 24 hours. This process allows the air suspension to adjust the
vehicle’s ride height to compensate for temperature effects.

shift to the position indicated by the selector switch.

TOWING A DISABLED VEHICLE
This section describes procedures for towing a disabled vehicle using a commercial
towing service. If the transmission and drivetrain are operable, disabled vehicles may
also be towed as described under “Recreational Towing” in the “Starting and
Operating” section in the Owners Manual on the DVD.
NOTE:
Vehicles equipped with Quadra-Lift must be placed in Transport mode, before tying
them down (from the body) on a trailer or flatbed truck. Refer to the section on
Quadra-Lift for more information. If the vehicle cannot be placed in Transport mode
(for example, engine will not run), tie-downs must be fastened to the axles (not to the
body). Failure to follow these instructions may cause fault codes to be set and/or
cause loss of proper tie-down tension.
